This is one of the best videos showing off Raleigh (in 2020) I’ve seen so far. Ignore the subject of the video (realty) and just take in the quality video b-roll and the tourism/info about Raleigh.
Now if we can only get a purely tourism video of this caliber out.

Raleigh is the number one real estate market in the US for real estate investment and development according to the well-regarded Urban Land Institute - PWC Emerging Trends report!
This is a pretty big deal bc this is one of the best known commercial real estate reports that comes out each year. Last year Raleigh was number 2 after Austin and this year they swapped with Raleigh number 1 and Austin number 2.
This type of exposure can be self-reinforcing with more investors and institutions putting the Triangle on their radar.
Link below is to the Nashville Business Journal. I’m sure a TBJ article will be out soon.

They usually give a copy to the press for articles a day or two before they release the full report to the public.

Don’t know about the validity of this as NYC and LA top this list but I’ll take it. Austin ranked 17th.

Where is this “Raleigh-Durham” city you speak of?

Who are 1-4? I suspect that we are on the smaller side (by population) among the top 5.
Google searching…

They got Dallas/Ft. Worth but not Raleigh/Durham. This is a grave injustice!!!1

Just overheard a well dressed out of town businessman on his cellphone talking to a friend. “Nothing going on in downtown Raleigh place still looks like Beirut”. Interesting perspective.

I doubt he’s ever been in Beirut.

That’s funny. Tomorrow I’m telling coworkers I saw online how downtown Raleigh is drawing comparisons to international cites of note.

Bad choice of words to use “cluster” in 2020.
I like how we topped the entire state of New Jersey.
